Pyramid Head is a very symbolic enemy that is seen in Silent Hill 2. He receives this name because almost half of his body is shelled in an enormous, blood-red, triangular mask. He is generally well-known for his appearance, and an enormous, sword-like knife he drags with him. Sometimes he carries a spear.

What makes Pyramid Head symbolic is that he is a major element in Silent Hill's gloomy history. Pyramid Head is considered to be the embodiment of James's suffering (in the Silent Hill 2 storyline), and he is also a servant of Samael (from Silent Hill 1). Pyramid Head was an executioner during the Age of Our Founding Fathers in this ghost town (literally a ghost town), an executioner of the guilty at least.

Silent Hill is what you make of it. If you are guilty, Pyramid Head will come for you. Maybe even if you are innocent, you must avoid him at all costs....after all, he is one spookybastard! @.@

"Good job you fuckwad. He was busy raping some demon and you just had to interupt him. He's gonna stalk you forever now as punishment."

The Urban Dictionary Mug

a.) The embodiment of James' suffering and/or guilt.
b.) The embodiment of James' sexual frustration with his deadwife. This would explain his gestures of dominance over the more feminine creatures of Silent Hill 2 (i.e. 'raping' other monsters)
c.) An executioner of sorts; some believe he is The Red God, Xuchilbara.

-A common theory is that Pyramid Head is Jimmy Stone. Jimmy was the leader of the Valtiel sect of The Order; often he is seen wearing a red, triangular hood during ceremonies. He was called "The Red Devil" by some. This leads many to believe Pyramid Head is Jimmy Stone.

The Urban Dictionary Mug

Emotionless, demon raping, knife holding executioner thing that stalks James Sunderland torturing him in the game Silent Hill 2. Pyramid Head is one of the most fucked up and freaky things in any video game of movie.

The Urban Dictionary Mug

Also known as the Red God, Triangle Head and Red Pyramid. One of the scariest characters in the Silent Hill francise. Satan is his bitch! You can't escape him, and he'll find you even when you SLEEP! (and he'll probably rape you, and your pets)

The Urban Dictionary Mug

Silent Hill 2 monster. A man with a large heavy blood stained tetrahedron mounted over his head. He carrys with him a oversized blade or great knife or he carrys a large razor spear.

an embodiment of James Sunderland's pain and suffering; only one scene in SH2 in which he rapes something; kills a lot more than he rapes O_o; he is a minion of Samael; he is the reason millions of gamers around the world sleep with their light on; Pyramid Head is strangely sexy...in some weird....messed up way. *shudder*
